9弗四29 败坏的话一句都不可出口,只要按需要说建造人的好话,好将恩典供给听见的人。
9Eph. 4:29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but only that which is good for building up, according to the need, that it may give grace to those who hear.
10林后一12 我们所夸的,是我们的良心见证我们凭着神的单纯和纯诚,在世为人,……靠神的恩典,对你们更是这样。
102 Cor. 1:12 For our boasting is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in singleness and sincerity of God,…in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
11我们对神经纶中之恩典的经历,也是尽神所托付之神恩典的管家职分—将基督的丰富,就是神的恩典,分赐给神所拣选的人,以产生并建造召会。
11In our experience of the grace in God’s economy, we carry out the stewardship of the grace of God entrusted by Him—dispensing the riches of Christ as the grace of God to His chosen people for the producing and building up of the church.
12不仅使徒这些管家的职分把恩典分赐与人,我们也应当在生活中说建造人的话,将恩典分给人〔参弗四29〕。在以弗所四章二十八节保罗说,我们应当亲手作正经事,好有所分给需要的人。我们基督徒应当在生活中,在物质上和属灵上,都有所分给人的(李常受文集一九九一至一九九二年第二册,四一二页)。
12Not only the apostles as stewards dispensed grace into people, but we also, in our living, should speak words for building up and thus give grace to people [cf. Eph. 4:29]…In verse 28 Paul says that we should labor, working with our own hands in that which is respectable, that we may have something to share with him who has need. As Christians, we should have something in our living, both materially and spiritually, to minister to others. (CWWL, 1991-1992, vol. 2, “The Law and Grace of God in His Economy,” p. 314)

13保罗在林后一章十二节说到神的单纯和纯诚。神的纯诚是一种神圣的美德,神之所是的美德。凭这样的美德为人,意即经历神自己。因此,凭这样的美德为人,等于……“靠神的恩典”。
13In 2 Corinthians 1:12 Paul speaks of the singleness and sincerity of God. The sincerity of God is a divine virtue, a virtue of what God is. To conduct ourselves in such a virtue means to experience God Himself. Hence, to conduct ourselves in such a virtue is to be in the grace of God.
14神是智慧的,又是全能的。但一面来说,神也是单纯的,祂非常简单。当主耶稣在地上的时候,祂很有智慧;但祂也是简单而单纯的。我接触主耶稣的时候非常有享受,因为祂是单纯而简单的。……当你跟某些弟兄谈话的时候,你发现他们非常复杂。但我们的神是简单的;每当我们与祂交谈,会发现祂并不复杂。当祂说是,祂就真是;当祂说不,就真的是不。照样,当祂说白色或黑色的时候,就是指白色或黑色,而不是指灰色。不论神在那一个时刻对我们有什么感觉,祂总是单纯的。祂对我们也许满意,也许不满意,但祂自己总是简单的。
14God is wise and almighty. But in a sense He is also single; He is very simple. When the Lord Jesus was on earth, He was wise; yet He was also simple and single. I very much enjoy having contact with the Lord Jesus because of His singleness and simplicity. However, when you talk to certain brothers, you find that they are extremely complicated. But our God is simple. Whenever we talk to Him, we find that He is not full of complications. When He says yes, He means yes, and when He says no, He means no. Likewise, when He says white or black, He means white or black, not gray. No matter how God may feel about us at a particular time, He is always single. He may be unhappy with us or He may be happy, but He Himself is simple.
15只有单纯的人才是慷慨的人。……神对我们是丰富施与的,因为祂是单纯的。如果神不单纯,如果神对我们的想法复杂,想想看我们会有什么样的遭遇;祂也许就不管我们了。你愿意让神考量你的光景,细细地察验你么?你愿意神把你从头看到脚,考量你里里外外的所是么?如果神这样来察验我们,没有一个人能蒙神的恩眷。但是因着神的单纯和慷慨,我们就从祂领受了许多的福分。
15Only a person so single is a generous person…Our God is bountiful toward us because He is single. Imagine what would happen to us if God were not single and if He thought about us in a complicated way. Probably He would not care for us. Would you like God to consider your situation and examine you in detail? Would you like Him to look at you from head to toe and consider what you are inwardly and outwardly? None of us would be favored by God if He examined us in this way. But because of God’s singleness and generosity, we have received blessing from Him.
16保罗就像简单的神,哥林多人却极其复杂。……保罗的良心见证,他和他的同工们向着哥林多人的为人,乃是凭着神的单纯。因此,他们向着哥林多人是慷慨的,愿意把一切都给他们。保罗和他的同工们,向着那些信徒是慷慨且丰富施与的(哥林多后书生命读经,一四至一五页)。
16Paul was like the simple God, but the Corinthians were extremely complicated…Paul’s conscience testified that toward the Corinthians he and his co-workers conducted themselves in the singleness of God. Therefore, they could be generous toward the Corinthians and be willing to give them anything. Toward those believers Paul and his co-workers were generous and full of bounty. (Life-study of 2 Corinthians, 2nd ed., pp. 12-13)
17恩典不仅是启示录的结束,也是整本圣经的结束。启示录二十二章二十一节说,“愿主耶稣的恩与众圣徒同在。阿们。”圣徒包括我们所有信入基督的人。……主的恩必须在我们日常生活的每一方面,与我们每一个人同在,因为我们是圣徒。这恩典终极完成于新耶路撒冷,作神之喜悦的终极完成,就是神使祂自己与人联结调和,作祂荣耀的扩大和永远的彰显(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册,五八五至五八六页)。
17Grace is not only the end of the book of Revelation but also the end of the entire Bible. Revelation 22:21 says, “The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.” The saints include all of us who have believed into Christ…The grace of the Lord must be with each one of us in every aspect of our daily life because we are saints. This grace consummates in the New Jerusalem as the consummation of God’s good pleasure in joining and mingling Himself with man for His glorious enlargement and eternal expression. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, “Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Romans,” p. 462)

今日要点
19主题:借着供应恩典尽管家的职分,使召会得着建造
19
20引经:弗四29林后一12
20
211.成为神恩典的管家,尽管家的职分:
21
22A.我们对神经纶中之恩典的经历,也是尽神所托付之神恩典的管家职分,为着将基督的丰富,就是神的恩典,分赐给神所拣选的人,以产生并建造召会,这是借着在生活中说建造人的好话,将恩典分给人而成就的,在弗四29保罗说,『败坏的话一句都不可出口,只要按需要说建造人的好话,好将恩典供给听见的人』
22
23B.这指明,我们的说话,有可能是供应恩典,或是供应败坏的毒素,若我们被恩典的三一神所充满,我们里面就会满溢出恩典,将恩典供给给人,而这样的话会带来召会的建造,
23
242.不靠肉体,乃靠神的恩典:
24
25A.保罗在林后一12说,『我们所夸的,是我们的良心见证我们凭着神的单纯和纯诚,在世为人,不靠属肉体的智慧,乃靠神的恩典,』这意思是,我们不仅说话要供应恩典,我们的行事为人,也不该信靠自己,该倚靠神的恩典,也就是经历神作我们的享受,在所有的待人接物、说话行动,都让神经过。
25
26B.主耶稣的恩必须在我们日常生活的每一方面,与我们每一个人同在,这恩典借着我们的供应和讲说,就能生机的建造召会作基督的身体,终极完成新耶路撒冷,作神之喜悦的终极完成,就是神使祂自己与人联结调和,作祂荣耀的扩大和永远的彰显。
26
27应用:借着与主这位简单而单纯的一位接触,使我们也单纯而简单,而使我们除去一切弯曲的撒但心思,过是就说是,不是就说不是的生活,而能够经历神一切丰富的施与,而将恩典供应给需要的人。
